Isn't that fun?!! I found that site about a week ago, and have been turning friends and family into elves ever since. It makes me laugh every time.
 You can do up to four elves at once.Jane |

We have an office mascot at work - a stray cat that had been shot with a BB gun or something and was blind in one eye. So we took her in and everyone loves her - she's such a good kittie. So when I sent my elf to one of my office mates, she replied with our kittie elf...

The kittie elf is a very good dancer. It was very kind of your office to adopt her.

She's a total sweetie - the best office cat you can imagine. Way better behaved than my two little troublemakers at home, LOL...
Okay, I can't resist. When I was a sweet, young thing, Led Zeppelin was my all time favorite band - I saw them live six times and will remember those performances forever. And they just had a reunion concert. I suppose it's too much to hope they'd ever tour again, but at least I got to see clips of this.  Much older and grayer, but they can still leave the kiddies in the dust! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8v_Rqi4B-E Laurie |

I almost didn't make it to work today, LOL....we're having a fierce rain and wind storm here, and I saw several downed trees and power lines on my way
to work, but just before I had to slow down at an intersection, I realized a power pole next to the road had broken and there were power lines hanging down
over the road and I was about to hit them. I slammed on my brakes, but still hit the lines. Luckily, I have a low-slung sporty car and so the lines just slid
across the top of the roof. It looks like I didn't pull them out or upset the line. Whew!
Woke me right up - no need for coffee!  I may take a different way back home after work, though, LOL...

WOW!!! Laurie!!! Glad you're okay. Nothing like a harrowing drive to work to cure the winter doldrums, LOL. If that had been me, coffee would have been the
least of my worries--I would have needed a change of underwear, more importantly.
What is with all this crazy weather we're having in the US this season? There's been everything from snow flurries in Daytona Beach to mid-twenties temperatures in New Orleans to nearly zero degress in part of Tennessee to bone-numbing wind chill in Ohio brought on by 30 mile per hour winds and temperatures in the upper teens. This is insane and makes me a bit worried about what Spring will bring with the tornado season. Mary c. |

Well, I'm in no rush to get home, LOL. I understand my whole neighborhood has been out of power all day - must have lost power just after I left for work.
We could be out all weekend - wouldn't be a surprise since the storms are supposed to continue so they won't have much chance to repair. And the
generator needs replacing....(sigh) Guess I better stock up on candles, LOL...

The power's back on, LOL - yay - not internetless anymore, LOL. Got the generator working last night, but the phone lines and broadband were still down -
so my computer could be hooked up to power - but without net access it was pretty pointless. (whine) So I very sullenly went to bed at 8:30 p.m. since there
was "nothing else to do." Got a good night's sleep, though!

Well, I'm heading back for what is hopefully my last time as a prospective juror on this out of the area trial. The judges and attorneys wanted to meet
with each prospective juror individually, and tomorrow is my scheduled date with them. I expect they will decide they don't want me after that. I have a
strong opinion on this case already.

Well, I'm not going back for jury duty. The court clerk called me at the last minute today and said I was excused. I'm not surprised. I was 100% sure
they wouldn't want me, given my strong feelings on the matter, which I laid out in the questionnaire.
Now that I'm no longer on the case, here is a link about the trial I was called in for. As you can see, this case has been a long time in the making. And you can see why no one would ever want to be on the jury. Poor kids. 
http://www.heart7.net/news/iowa-couple-aided-ritual-childabuse.htm And this couple are also defendants in the case (the trial involves counts against both parties - the Harrods and the La Brecques) although it looks like the Harrods have already been convicted in a different trial - I guess there must be other criminal charges pending: http://www.rickross.com/reference/general/general623.html Laurie |

All I can say is...ewwwwww! There is no way I would want to be a panelist on a jury trying a case like this one. Absolutely not. These folks are sick, sick,
sick. It doesn't take a member of Mensa to figure out that one. From the sounds of it that could be one, long, very involved trial--the kind that goes one
for weeks, not days. It was a stroke of luck in your favor, Laurie, to get excused from this one, lol.

I don't think there was much luck involved. I think it was clear from my answers to the judge's and attorneys' questions that I thought the
defendants should be hanging from the nearest tree, and I would have no problem taking the FBI's word for it that these were bad people... Trial? I'd
save them the trouble!
